Best Gold Silver Coins for Investment

Post by James Randolph
on January 29, 2013

The market is right for gold and silver coin investment. Market instability and rising inflation are leading more and more investors to buy gold and silver coins to hedge their finances in these difficult economic times.

Gold and Silver Coins vs. Bars

Gold and silver bullion coins provide buyers with investment opportunities that bars do not. They can be spread out over longer periods of time, making gold and silver investment possible for those who do not have large amounts of capital to make huge first time buys.

Coins are also liquidated differently than bullion bars. Selling gold and silver coins—just as on the buying end—can be done in smaller amounts than bars allow. This is especially attractive to household investors who generally deal with smaller amounts of funds.

Top Gold and Silver Coins on the Market

Gold and silver coins are minted in a wide range of weights to offer a number of different buying options to investors—from 1/10 oz. all the way up to jumbo coins that weigh up to a kilogram.

The pride and joy of the U.S. Mint since 1986, Gold Eagles are some of the most respected gold coins on the market today. They are available in four different sizes and boast a purity of 91.67% 22kt gold.

Maple Leafs were the first ever gold coin to be minted at a purity of .9999%. The 2013 issue comes with a new security feature that is another industry first for the Royal Canadian Mint: a laser-etched, micro-engraved security feature that ensures the coin’s authenticity.

The successor to the famous Australian nugget, the Kangaroo is one of the most aesthetic gold coin buys on the market today. They feature a two-toned, frosted effect that is guaranteed to please the eye. Each new issue is different from the previous year’s strike, making the Kangaroo a fun coin to collect on top of a smart investment.

Gold Pandas have a purity of .999% and are minted in limited numbers in expectation of becoming collectibles in the future. Like Australian Kangaroos, Pandas feature a different reverse strike each year (with the exception of the 2002 issue, which had the same pandas as the 2001 issue).

Investors more interested in putting their money into silver should look into such coins as:

This beautiful 99.9% silver coin is only available in oz. size. Its Walking Liberty design is considered by many to be the most beautiful coin design in the world, and Silver American Eagle is one of the most sought after silver coins because of this.

The silver Canadian Maple Leaf has the highest purity of any silver coin minted today. This, along with its strictly limited mintage (in the 1996 and 1997 issues) makes it a regular global best seller.

Minted from 1878 to 1904, with a final issue minted in 1921, the Morgan Silver Dollar is America’s best known silver coin. Due to its being minted in an unusual number of variations, it is one of the most popular silver coins with investors and collectors alike.

The product of advocacy by the American Numismatic Association (AMA), the Peace Silver Dollar was minted in commemoration of peace following World War I. It was the last American silver dollar to be circulated, and the termination of its mintage was a symbolic step in the dollar’s path to becoming true fiat money.
